CNS Response Inc. has developed a data analysis capability that, when paired with a non-invasive EEG, analyzes a patient’s brain waves and compares those results to a patient outcome database, generating an rEEG report that allows psychiatrists to create personalized medication regimens for the patient.

According to the company, depression costs U.S. employers $83 billion annually; more than half of these costs are associated with treatment-resistant depression. Individuals with treatment-resistant depression cost $8,500 more per year than patients with ordinary depression. Through various studies, rEEG is the first objective, physiology-based, personalized medical technologies proven to efficiently and consistently enable psychiatrists to determine the right treatment for patients.

CNS Response today announced that Charles DeBattista, D.M.H, M.D., will present the results of a recent landmark study of rEEG at the U.S. Psychiatric and Mental Health Congress. The study proved rEEG effective at predicting medication response approximately 65 percent of the time.
